Once again, we have a month with no cancer to call it’s own. But, not every cancer has a month assigned to it, especially when it is a lesser known cancer, one that is so rare not many have heard of it. Therefore, for this month, please think about all of the other cancers out

September is my favorite cancer awareness month, because it highlights a cause very dear to my own heart: ovarian cancer. That being said, it is also the busiest cancer awareness month, with 9 types of cancers being showcased.

It occurred to me it is nearing the end of the month, and I have not posted my monthly awareness type post. But, it is not exactly an oversight. Because no cancer claims August for it’s own. I will keep this short. Use this month to think about ALL cancers. Remember, it’s not all about
